Today was a very busy Halloween. I have been sad having some of the kids back at school because we are not able to do all the fun activities on holidays like we used to when they were all home. I made the best of it though, and had the boys help me get things ready for nighttime. They sometimes dread going out though, because people are always stopping us over Lucy. Today in the store, the demo lady kept following us around, taking pictures of Lucy with her cell phone. William kept saying it was so creepy. 😆 We got out of there as fast as we could.
We cooked our dinner in a pumpkin, which I have always wanted to try. It was FABULOUS!
Nate dressed up like Marty McFly and was surprised to see his principal was Doc Brown.
William has decided that it is more enjoyable for him to create his own costume, than to buy one. Sure makes it easy on me. 😊 So we had a zombie, a ninja, a ladybug, Marty McFly, and a lost BYU cheerleader. (We caught up with her later.)
Lucy caught on to the whole trick-or-treating thing super fast. The boys were great helpers too. They realized you get lots more candy with a cute baby sister. Sam and I thought it was crazy that we are usually embarrasssed to take pictures of our kids trick or treating at peoples’ homes, yet this year, they were taking pictures of us. Crazy the way the world has changed with technology.
Our favorite house was at the end of our street in the culdesac. Not only did they have amazing decorations…
…they also gave out fresh popped popcorn and fresh spun cotton candy.
It was a hit for the entire neighborhood.
Natalie went around with Sabrina again this year. I guess there comes a time when it isn’t “cool” to go around with your parents anymore. 
She sure swept up on candy though. The kids all had a blast and agreed it was one of the best years ever.
